Co-op

Pros

Flexible schedule. Felt like I was valued more than a "co-op" in my role. Great insight exposure to a global company. Excellent opportunity to gain knowledge in many software programs (SAP, etc).

Cons

I got the impression Dow hires full-time workers that attended universities they actively recruit at. If you did not attend one of those "larger" universities, your chances for full-time employment is limited regardless of your co-op performance reviews.

Pros

The benefits are very good, particularly, Dow still has a pension plan for every employee that is not the case in the most of US companies.

Cons

The career development within Dow is generally good, but for some departments/sites, the opportunities are limited. Be mindful to choose a good one to work in.

Bad Leadership

Pros

Dow has the worst leadership of any company I have worked for. It's easy to screw off all day. I haven't been productive in a month and leadership has not noticed. Just show up to your scheduled meetings and smile.

Cons

Bad Leadership at all levels.
